Faces of Common Core

Parents have primary rights because they bear the burden of responsibility for raising their children.Love is at the centre of the family’s educational enterprise, just as is teaching their children how to be good people. Education for the public good must remain consistent with that aim. Children don’t just need to learn facts for themselves, they need to apply them to social life.

Many parents hold their duties to be sacred. A society in which the government positions itself at odds with conscience is no longer free.

Every major religion and the greatest works of literature portray a happy family life at the centre of personal fulfilment. On the playground, they still sing “first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage.” Reality does not always work out that way. But we educate for that ideal society.

However we might define social progress, it cannot begin by imposing a prejudice against love, marriage and the family. They aren’t mentioned in the curriculum.

Some seem surprised this is an election issue. But parents see serious harm in teaching their children the idea that sex, the most intimate of human relations, is morally neutral. It is not only a matter for a child’s whim and fancy.

Let’s conclude with a look at the matter of responsible choice a bit more closely.

Parents’ sense of moral responsibility toward their children lies deep in their awareness of human nature. Despite what some people say, we aren’t creatures of instinct, driven by sex like animals. If we were, we wouldn’t want to teach consent. And we would mock the outrage of the #metoo movement rather than sharing it.

“To listen to government supporters, parents unhappy with the sex-ed curriculum are ignorant of the dangers of sexting, the growth in human trafficking, and the early sexualization of children,” writes Scott Masson. “I have yet to meet such parents.”

Shame on UNICEF! Please sign the petition found at the link below and share.

UNICEF, along with other UN agencies, is sexualizing children through graphic comprehensive sexuality education programs in countries around the world. (See examples from Africa, Jamaica, Mexico, Thailand a link below

UNICEF and other UN agencies partner with Planned Parenthood through their Human Reproduction Programme (HRP). In their HRP publication, Sexual Health, Human Rights, and the Law, UNICEF and Planned Parenthood, along with their other partners are promoting abortion, sexual rights for children, the decriminalization of prostitution, the weakening of parental rights, health services for transgender sex changes, and much more.

We, as concerned citizens, are profoundly disturbed by UNICEF’s promotion of radical comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for children, UNICEF’s support of abortion, and UNICEF’s violations of parental rights.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-- A bill that would allow parents to review sex education curriculum and "opt out" their children from such classes has been approved by the Indiana Legislature. The Senate on Wednesday approved the measure on a 41-8 vote. The bill already passed the House and now goes to Gov. Eri...

"It's too much details talking about the sexuality, like intercourses," said Sunidhadevi Gopalan, whose 6th grader would be affected. She's a mother of two girls at Fremont schools. Her other daughter is only in 2nd grade.

Gopalen is among a group of parents who have signed a petition on Change.org, which had more than 4,000 signatures ahead of Wednesday nights's meeting. It calls the new curriculum "inappropriate."

Some parents also say 4th grade is too young to begin yearly sex education and oppose the opt-out system where parents must request their child not be included in classes."
